Bath resealing for Baslow homes

Bath resealing at your home in Baslow

All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Typical jobs include unsealed corners and old sealant that looks dirty, across kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and shower trays & enclosures.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Landlord and trade work in Baslow

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Hidden water damage
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Baths
  • Wet rooms
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Basins & vanity units

When to call us in Baslow

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

Before you book anyone

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How soon you can use it again
  • If travel is included in the price

Our hiring checklist

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Is resealing worth it?

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
